If your serious about the car and want long term good results, I'd no question go with the Konis. They are a little more expensive than most of the cheap shocks out there, but give you good enough results to even match those way higher priced shocks like Penskes. Koni SA's are great. They have a fixed compression valving and an adjustable rebound setting. Plenty good enough for many different spring types.
If you don't want to dish out money for Konis, then KYB AGX shocks are probably the best cheap alternative. They have a single adjustment that changes both compression and rebound with one **** which isn't ideal. If you only want to adjust rebound, the compression also changes which isn't ideal for tuning for ride quality. But they are probably the best choice compared to what else is out there for the money.
I'd strongly recommend considering the Koni's first though
